Guests that stayed at this property said
The property is consistently described as clean, with one review specifically noting it as 'spotless'. This suggests a high standard of cleanliness that guests appreciate.
The location is praised for its proximity to beaches and its perfect setting for relaxation. However, the rural nature and country lanes may be a consideration for some.
The property offers a peaceful stay with a hot tub and firelog for comfort. However, one guest found the bathroom size and separation slightly inconvenient.
Facilities like the hot tub and BBQ are well-received, though there is a mention of an electric BBQ not being powerful enough, suggesting some room for improvement.
The owners are commended for their thoughtfulness, providing essentials and being welcoming. Gifts like milk are mentioned, but as a gentle reminder, such offerings are not guaranteed.

A market town in Cornwall called Callington has a long history of mining. Kit Hill, the highest point there is, was given to the people of Cornwall by Prince Charles to commemorate the birth of Prince William. Fantastic vistas throughout southeast Cornwall and as far as Plymouth Sound may be seen from Kit Hill's summit. Ginsters Cornish pasties are made in Callington, which is located in the Tamar Valley, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Callington also has an excellent assortment of shops, inns, and cafes. A few miles away, in the Tamar Valley, the charming village of Calstock clings to the rocky riverbanks and is dominated by the magnificent Calstock Railway Viaduct, a massive 11-arched stone building that supports one of Britain's most scenic branch lines. Cotehele, a lovely historic home and gardens owned by the National Trust with a small quay and inn, and Morwhellam Quay, a theme park that staged a living history production for the BBC and where visitors can explore the rich mining heritage and watch blacksmiths, potters, and craftsmen at work, are two other interesting locations along the river. Only nine miles separate Callington from the bustling market town of Tavistock, which is well worth a stop on your route to a day of hiking on Dartmoor. A wonderful starting point for exploring West Devon and South Cornwall.

We saw them a few times during our stay and would always take the time to stop and have a chat but were really respectful also of giving us privacy. Really well set up for our dog with bed,dog bowls and treats. The hut had everything a more with the tea coffee and milk and all kitchen utensils, cleaning products and towels. The fire was amazing and really warmed the hut and it stayed warms for days. Hot Tub was obviously a winner. We are people we enjoy exploring new areas so we were out everyday. We hadnât quite realised how rural it was and so had quite a few country lane to contend with which we managed but is something to be aware of. Also phone signal isnât great but we did find by the fire was the best spot. Overall we enjoyed our stay and very appreciative of the owners for making us feel so welcome. Once we got through the lanes it was a lovely place to come back to and relax and unwind. Thankyou Mell and Mick

Being an women prefer bathroom together I found it small for me and my partner . It had an amazing view and really enjoyed hot tub and firelog. Generally the property was clean and provided us with lots of essentials milk etc and the owner gave us no bother at all very welcoming polite.The location was perfect next to couple of beaches. I enjoyed having BBQ but the electric one they had was not powerful so we brought some instane bbq set from tescos. Overall enjoyed our stay and really liked the view and it was very peaceful. If it was hot we would of enjoyed our time in the swimming pool. If the weather gets better we may return. Thank you for the booking. Kindest Regards Joyce
